Shoe Condition:

This shoe is originally intended as a “golf trainer”, a cleat-less golf shoe for club house and putting range. I find it to be among the most supremely comfortable walking shoes, my personal shoe-of-choice for long city walks. It is also the last of its kind; Footjoy’s American workrooms are no more. The all-weather sole is extremely durable and it is supremely comfortable on even the hardest surfaces, and like all Goodyear welted soles, easily exchanged if ever you are able to wear it out, a doubtful eventuality. The build quality of Footjoy special order shoes is on a level comparable to the very best ready-mades in the world and the leathers used by Footjoy are equaled by very few, in fact FootJoy’s rubber-soled Oxfords, golf or street, are among the most comfortable shoes that money can buy. There is something about this brand, about their last (Leist) and their footbed that just works. Perhaps because their clients are going to spend the day walking on the green that they have developed a shoe that really cradles the foot. I would say the same thing about the vintage Florsheims but FootJoy is even superior to them as regards comfort. Be kind to your feet and knees with this most comfortable of all shoes.
